Daughter Wrecked my truck

13, Start young in TX.

 

I'd disown her.

But if my truck rear ended anything all I'd have to do is busy out the tremclad. I learnt my lesson from getting backed into twice by female drivers.

 

Lol it was a standard too, old f150 with the shifter on the steering column.

 

I started practicing stick in the driveway (legal I guess) and in my dads lap on the road (illegal I'm sure)

 

Pics or it didnt happen!

 

Glad she's OK. I never got to drive the folk's car. My Dad bought us a '66 Falcon for us to drive. I personally wrecked that car twice. Second time for good. Learned my lessons.

 

My sons are so afraid to hurt my truck that even if I ask them to move it out of the driveway for me so I can get my other car out, they refuse, laugh and then ask me if it's a trap.

Neither one has driven my truck. Wait. I don't think the older one has even been IN the truck....

 

they did a very nice job....

 

You should check her phone bill and I bet she was probably texting . I know a few people that the same thing happened too. Glad very one was ok though . I also suggest that if your going to let her borrow it again you get a arb front bumper. Lol

 

Glad she didn't get hurt. I got my license when I was 17. I never drove the family car without one of my parents. It was the rule. I hated it but I would have the same rule now if we had kids. I have no stress either.

 

Glad she's okay, but not all teen drivers can't drive you guys! I know a bunch that are horrible drivers, but there is a few that can actually drive.

I started at 15 with my learner's permit, got my license at 16.

Now i'm 18, no tickets, no accidents and truck is still in one piece

 

Total bummer, but glad to hear everyone walked away.

 

Glad to hear no one was hurt. Bummer about your truck though.

 

Those of you that say family can't be replaced? You're wrong. Just make another one

 

had to be a women.

































but atleast no one got hurt

 

I didn't read the thread, but texting and driving maybe?



Sorry about the truck, as long as everybody is fine that's all that matters.

 

Im glad she is ok and the other party as well. Sometimes I feel like I would rather have MYSELF hurt than hurt someone else. I have been in 13 accidents in 10 years of driving. Only one was my fault (cement truck dropped its chute on the freeway and I hit it, hit the sidewall, crossed 5 lanes, hit a minivan with 3 kids in it, and somehow I was found at fault for not maintaining distance.) Again, glad she is ok.

 

Glad she's ok and it sounds minor. Hopefully it can be fixed.

This is why my parents gave me a 10 year old hand me down car with 100k+ miles when I got my driver's license. I wrecked it when I was 17, then totaled it when I was 18. Statistically, teenagers 16-19 are almost guaranteed to have some sort of accident.

As for the safety factor thing. You can still buy your teenager an older cheap "clunker" that is still safe. I personally think that parents who buy their kids brand new cars are stupid.

 

Glad she wasn't hurt. Reminds me of a friend at work. His daughter has has a series of minor crashes starting when she went off to college with the latest happening a month or so ago (she has been graduated for a year or so). That one totaled the car he had given her a couple years ago. This was its second (and final) wreck. Smart girl...BAD driver.
